The Intersection of Machine Vision, Collaborative Robots & AI: What You Need to Know

January 22, 2019

12:00 PM - 1 PM ET

ABOUT THIS WEBINAR

Vision-guided collaborative robot systems are rapidly transforming production processes by making robots highly adaptable and easy to implement, while dramatically reducing the cost and complexity previously associated with the design and setup of fixed robotic cells. In this webinar, we will explore the role vision technology plays in supplying these factory systems with the interoperability, motion, measurement, and control capabilities required for key industrial robotic applications such as flexible quality inspection and pick-and-place. We will also discuss how emerging AI technologies are enhancing traditional robotic and machine vision systems, opening new applications and leading to better ROI.

Artemis Vision is a machine vision software and integration company headquartered in Denver, CO, with a sales and support office in Charlotte NC. We work with leading manufacturers and OEMs to build machine vision solutions. Solutions address needs in the Automotive, Pharmaceutical, Medical, Defense, Building Materials and Energy Industries among others. We work closely with our customers following a test-driven development process so the solution works in the real world, as testing gets baked into every step of the process. Once systems have been built, we can also work with you to link to your current IT and SPC environments, so you can utilize the full value of your solution and use the data to improve your process. Artemis Vision can help your company find your solution and save you money, time, increase reliability, and decrease liability.

NEC has been providing solutions that help improve the way people live, work and communicate for over 117 years. NEC is a global leader in image recognition technologies backed with over half a century of accumulated knowledge and business performance. The latest deep learning based machine vision software, NEC RAPID Machine Learning, brings greater control and automation to manufacturing defect inspections for: automotive and a variety of industries. Utilizing its OneClass classification algorithm NEC RAPID Machine Learning can detect product defects simply by learning from only images of good product. Manufacturers do not need to collect defect images. NEC RAPID combined with the ability to be implemented into any existing machine vision system greatly reduces cost and training time. With 9 global research labs NEC places a heavy focus on innovation to continue to improve and deliver cutting edge solutions to our customers.
